and what is your source for this bold statement?

I'm going to explain some things to you, so settle in.
What Swan stated was not an opinion nor a statement, he was stating a falsity as a fact based on typical outrage media that distorts the truth for clicks. No, immigrants are not being given mansions and millions of pounds in benefits and to make out that's the case is just perpetuating a lie.
As for my opinion, look at the world. Trump, despite people predicting he would stick people seeking immigration and asylum in concentration camps and that he would be defined by racism, he still won because people disregarded the signs because they wanted a reason to validate their own hatred and anyone who went with him because they bought his bull**** about Hillary have since disavowed him. The only people left in Trump's corner now are people who are fine with concentration camps and racist sentiments. Places that have seen progress are seeing the Right Wing double down with hatred to try to take back a foothold. Look at Bolsonero in Brazil, the controversy over Puerto Rico's governer, the countries in Europe that are seeing a rise of far right extremism on a wave of hatred for diversity and equality. Immigrants aren't to blame, equality is not to blame, diversity is not to blame, it's the fault of hatred and bigotry and nothing more.
If you're trying to demand a source for an opinion, go relearn what an opinion is because you misunderstand what it entails but all you have to do to see that I'm right is to open your eyes and look at the state of the world.
